12:05 PM Male is visible perched on the second tower. Female not visible in nest.

06/16/2022 by Chris Asay
Observed the adult male feeding at the second tower, with the female in the nest, apparently feeding young. No nestlings visible. Female left the nest and flew to second tower to perch near the male

04/25/2022 by Chris Asay
Pair is present at nest site. One adult is visible in the nest and the other is perched on the second tower.

07/22/2021 by Chris Asay
Observed (and photographed) both adults and two large nestlings. One adult, presumably the male, prefers to perch on the second microwave tower, while the female perches above the nest on the first tower. The two nestlings were not observed wing stretching or flapping.

It appears as if the nest has been removed from the tower and a spiked device installed to discourage future nest construction.
